The first time I glanced over the Meshverse Journal’s entry, “Gear Mesh: Power To The Peers” (Link)<\/a>, I wasn’t sufficiently focused to follow the significance of what was being said. I also didn’t follow the link to BetaNews, which does a nice job explaining something really interesting about Google’s new Google Gears<\/a> offline application effort.
